Verified Handles

The review queue

list_review_queue

Read-only

Submissions waiting for a reviewer (or, with status, decided ones), oldest first, up to 100: proposed changes (correction), claims and reports, each with its entry and what it asks. New-entry proposals (new_entity) are not listed here: they wait beside the applications, in list_applications with tab "proposals", and are still decided with review_submission. Narrow to one entry or one kind. Decide one with review_submission.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, and the description adds real context beyond that: a hard 100-item cap, oldest-first ordering, and the fact that status switches to decided items while defaulting to pending. It does not discuss whether listing is paginated past 100 or what happens to excluded types, leaving a small behavioral gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with purpose, ordering, and limit in the first clause, then routing guidance. The parenthetical about new_entity is long but earns its place as a disambiguation; a few clauses are dense enough to require rereading.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, the description needn't document return shapes, and it covers the main operational facts an agent needs: scope, ordering, cap, exclusion of new_entity, and the deciding tool. Only pagination behavior past the 100-item limit and the less common status values are left unstated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 33% (only `entry` is documented), but the description compensates by describing the `kind` values (correction/claim/report) in prose and explaining that `status` surfaces decided submissions versus the default pending queue. It doesn't spell out the full status enum semantics (merged, superseded, retracted), so it improves on but doesn't fully close the coverage gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource (list submissions awaiting a reviewer) plus scope details: content types (correction, claim, report), ordering (oldest first), and cap (up to 100). It explicitly carves out new_entity proposals and points to list_applications instead, so the agent can distinguish it from siblings without reading schemas.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit when-to-use (reviewer queue, optionally with status for decided ones), when-not-to-use (new-entry proposals belong in list_applications with tab "proposals"), and names the follow-up action (decide with review_submission). Narrowing options are also stated.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
